Thunder Outdoors Fishing

Thunder Outdoors Fishing is a guided fishing service based in Richland, Washington, offering charter trips on the Columbia River and nearby waters. Led by Captain Thor Ostrom, the brand combines local knowledge and hands-on guidance to welcome beginners and experienced anglers alike. Trips target salmon, sturgeon, walleye, and, in select areas, steelhead, with options designed for peaceful morning outings, drift fishing, weekend excursions, and flexible afternoon trips.

Fishing locations include sections of the Columbia River such as Lake Wallula and the Franklin County Irrigation Canal. Trips begin at the Riverfront Trail in Richland, and safety is emphasized, including required life vests for younger participants. Captain Thor provides basic refreshments and can offer guidance about fishing licenses and species-specific tags. Guests are advised to bring essentials such as sunglasses, sunscreen, and snacks. The website also features fishing photos, reports, reviews, trip availability, gift cards, and booking information, helping customers plan an outing and enjoy the river’s scenery and fishing opportunities.
